Bolton Window Cleaning Observe Strict Health & Safety
Guidelines

The Health and Safety Executive has published new guidance on safety in
window cleaning. The guidance is aimed at window cleaning companies
themselves, but will be of relevance to designers, owners and those
involved in maintenance of buildings. Window cleaning is a hazardous
activity and the risk of falling from heights is one of HSE's current
priority programmes. Every year several window cleaners die at work and
many more are seriously injured.

HSE is not attempting to ban ladders or stepladders, but ladders should
not be the automatic first choice of access. They should only be used
after a suitable assessment of the alternatives and the prevailing site
conditions.

The new legislation puts the onus on you, the customer, as controller of
the work, to ensure that any work carried out is not done at height if
it is safer to do so from the ground. If your window cleaner is not
compliant to 'Working At Height Regulations' as controller of the work
you (the customer) can be prosecuted by the Health & Safety Executive.

able to clean your windows up to a height of 60 feet without the need to
